Split to MFJ and can't delete a dependent for the spouse not claiming. Lacerte is adding $2,000 in DCB income. How do I get rid of this?

I have deleted the child care info on screen 33. No information on screen 2 flowed to this return, but it still has one dependent with just the last name.  I have tried deleting it multiple times, and it will not go!

Add a dependent in screen 2.

Exit the client

Re enter and delete the child in Screen 2 OR check the box for "Dependent exemption not claimed each year" and select Suppress this year

I tried that and the $2,000 DCB is still showing up in income

I just figured it out!  Thanks!
